I assume the reason Supes has the cape while Zod and his minions don't is because the version of the Krpytonian attire Supes is wearing is an ancient version of that suit, while Zod is donning the newer brand which doesn't have it. He does get the suit from the Fortress of Solitude(which according to the EW article has been on earth for centuries before he arrived on Earth, planted there by his ancestors.)

Meh, I'm not a fan of that at all. Why do so many writer's insist on making Krypton some crappy, dystopian place with civil wars and stuff?

Making Kal-El the first naturally born kryptonian in hundreds of years is a stupid idea in my opinion, it makes him special even on Krypton itself. I would prefer if he had been just another guy if Krypton was never destroyed. Some kind of Jesus Kryptonchrist who was born without his parents ever touching the baby-o-matic is not what I want the character to be.

I can't remember any version - comics or otherwise where he is just 'another' guy - he is always the son of one of the most famous scientists who is saved because of the special foresight of said famous scientist.
